Mx5 headachesDate: 7/4/2014I am using Mx5 from last 1 yr . My hair is grown well. My question in now i am suffering in headache while i apply in the night ang going for bed. And in the morning when I wake up its very high headache . Iam using this product daily 1 dose. If i discontinue or if i apply it once in a week will cause hair fall again?

Sajid

AskDocWeb: Where we live (North America) the Mx5 is a car rather than a medication. We suggest you consult with a local doctor for advice.

Longer results?Date: 7/19/2014I have used HAIR FOR U Lotion 5% and finax as suggested by a doctor. It worked well for 2 months, and later on again I started losing my hair. Before using the HAIR FOR U Lotion, i using COVERIT but even that did not work. Can I use MINITOP now? can we have a longer results with these products?

Srinivas

AskDocWeb: Unfortunately the results of the products that work for hair loss disappear within a few months of discontinuing them. In order to keep the new hair the product must be used daily continuously.

AskDocWeb: Sorry Amayak, we have no knowledge of what may be available in India. We suggest you contact a local doctor that specializes in hair transplants.

A hair transplant is expensiveDate: 8/14/2014Hello, I went to a hair loss treatment center and they told me i have Alopecia Androgenetic hair loss due to my dad being bald. I find 6000$ for hair transplant is expensive. What would you recommend that I should do for a least expensive product to use. I am 27 years old and only have a small pattern bald spot on the top of my head. Thanx I was thinking of Bosley Shampoo but not sure.

Marc

AskDocWeb: It is not surprising that a center for hair loss treatment would recommend their own service. That’s how they make their money. Did they at least discuss the use of topical minoxidil or recommend getting a complete medical examination? If you have an infection of some kind or a problem with your thyroid then a hair transplant would not do anything to resolve your bald spot. We would get a second opinion from a dermatologist.

Just relying on one product?Date: 8/26/2014I have been using Provillus for nearly 3 months, but I am also using other products like a laser cap twice a week, Spectral (CSF) twice a day and Revita shampoo and conditioner daily. I’m firing on all levels and the hair loss has stopped and my hair feels thicker. Just relying on one product is probably not enough. Good luck all?

AskDocWeb: It is important to understand that if you find a treatment for hair loss that works, it must be used daily, continuously or your hair loss will start up again.

Hair loss at 20Date: 10/27/2014I am 20 yrs old male, loosing hairs in front portion and also have dandruff problem. What would you recommend?

Jain

AskDocWeb: Unexplained, excessive hair loss can be very disturbing. The good news is, there’s often a way to fix it. The first step is to find out what is causing it because that will determine the treatment.

The most common cause of hair loss is a hereditary condition called male-pattern baldness or female-pattern baldness. In some people certain sex hormones trigger a particular pattern of permanent hair loss. Other common causes of hair loss include:

Alopecia areata

Discontinuing birth control pills

Hormonal changes and imbalances

Lichen planus

Medications

Menopause

Pregnancy and childbirth

Ringworm

Scalp infections

Some types of lupus

Thyroid problems

A complete medical examination or “physical” should reveal the cause of your hair loss and then an appropriate treatment may be determined.
